Last year, commenting on the Apex Court's suggestion to solve the Ram Mandir issue out of court, Shiv Sena, in its mouthpiece Saamana stated that people of the country expect a decision from the Supreme Court, and not a suggestion. According to reports, the editorial further read that the court “intervenes unnecessarily” in many cases but when a decision is needed, the court asks the parties to settle the matter out of court.

In another incident, according to a report on IANS, A Hindu seer who was on an indefinite fast to press for early construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya has been picked up from the temple town here in Uttar Pradesh and sent to a hospital in Lucknow. His pulse rate dropped alarmingly, forcing the police to intervene.
